The guys responsible for extending visas, permits, etc. in Syria, the Maktab al-Hijrah wa al-Jawazat (The Office of Immigration and Passports), don’t have a strong web presence at all. I recommend you get to Syria and ask around once you are there.

Interestingly enough, the most comprehensive website (although it is a bit dated) for information on residence permits/student visas/etc for Syria, happens to be the write-up at this website of the University of Oklahoma.

If you plan to stay in Syria for longer than 15 days, register with the Syrian immigration authorities by your 15th day. You’ll find offices in most of the big cities around the country.
